While I hope it will be true at some point in the future, saying this now would be wishful thinking when people get abused and assaulted daily for not conforming to so-called gender norms.
1- Any actual examples in the Western world?
2- It is different to call everything masculine or feminine and to have gender norms- a culture can have one without the other.
And people are often verbally abused for conforming to them. (I know that super-normal stimulus is a standard idea. Would it make sense to say that a male chauvinist pig is engaged in super-normal conformity?)
